At the beginning of 2025, the Haut-Lomami province is preparing to implement an ambitious budget of 281 billion Congolese francs. This sum, presented by Governor Banza Mulume before the Provincial Assembly, reflects a slight increase compared to the previous year, set at 273 billion Congolese francs.
The provincial Minister of the Budget, Thierry Caleb Lumbala, underlines the importance of mobilizing internal resources and the retrocession of the central government to ensure the viability of this budget. He highlights the need to redouble efforts to achieve the objectives set, in a province that is struggling to take off economically.
The determination displayed by Governor Banza Mulume is reflected in an increased commitment to the search for specific revenues, particularly those from local taxes and duties. These exceptional resources will play a crucial role in the realization of the projects included in the provincial government’s action program.
It is undeniable that the successful implementation of this budget will depend on the ability of the provincial authorities to effectively mobilize the necessary resources. Transparency and efficiency in the management of public finances will be key elements in ensuring sustainable and balanced economic development in the Haut-Lomami province.
In this context, it is essential to encourage collaboration between the various stakeholders, both at the local and national levels, in order to create an environment conducive to economic growth and improving the living conditions of the province’s inhabitants. The successful implementation of this budget could pave the way for new development opportunities and strengthen the position of Haut-Lomami on the regional and national chessboard.
In short, the Haut-Lomami province budget for the 2025 financial year represents a stimulating challenge, but also an opportunity to transform ambitions into concrete actions. It is by combining the efforts of each and working collectively for the general interest that the province will be able to achieve its objectives and realize its full potential for growth and prosperity.
